Spencer County approves EMS stretcher purchase and sheriff camera; sheriff camera quote lists recurring costs
Summary
The fiscal court approved purchase of four scoop stretchers and four pediatric boards for EMS and approved buying a Flock Safety Flex camera for the sheriff's office. A Flock Safety quote presented estimated Year 1 costs and recurring subscription fees.
Spencer County Fiscal Court on May 19 approved two separate equipment purchases for public safety. The court authorized purchase of four scoop stretchers and four pediatric boards for EMS at a total cost of $6,791.96; the purchase will be funded from available EMS equipment and supplies money. The motion was made by Esq. Stump and carried by voice vote.
Separately, the court approved purchase of a Flock Safety Flex license-plate-recognition camera for the sheriff's office in the amount of $3,500 plus an implementation fee. County staff presented a non-binding Flock Safety quote that itemized first-year hardware and implementation fees (Year 1 estimated at $13,650) and an annual recurring subscription estimated at $6,500 per year thereafter. The Flock materials describe features such as license-plate lookup across the vendor network, vehicle "fingerprint" search and NCIC real-time alerting; the quote states pricing is subject to change and is informational only.
Minutes show the court approved the flex camera purchase on the motion of Esq. Cotton, seconded by Esq. Stump. The minutes do not record a detailed discussion of privacy or data-retention policies associated with the vendor's network; the quote lists a 30-day retention period in the vendor materials.
